Sorry I haven't been updating lately. I almost forgot about this fanfic, because I wanted to do a chapter every ten chapters, but no one was really reviewing that much. But anyways, I'm back. If its not too much trouble, I would be happy if you reviewed more.
However, don't think I am angry you are not reviewing so much. I love the support, and I really want to thank you guys. Anyways, if no one else is, I at least am glad I have finished this chapter.

Chapter Six:
I was walking through a dark, murky alley, a shortcut to the clubhouse.
Suddenly, I saw Hamtaro's moving, dark shadow around the corner. I ran swiftly, trying to catch up to him.
However, when I rounded the corner, Hamtaro was completely gone. I was confused and upset. Yet, I would talk to him at the clubhouse about my feelings today. My mind was set. The words would come out of my mouth as soon as I saw him.
Once I got to the clubhouse, I was greeted as usual by my friend Boss. However, when I asked him where Hamtaro was, he suddenly half-frowned, and looked a little surly.
"Ehh... I actually don't know where he is. He has been acting kinda suspicous lately. When I looked at him yesterday, it really looked like there was something on his mind."
I recalled the events of yesterday. I had everything in my mind. It was carved in there, and I would never forget. I began to worry. I looked around. Pashmina was also not in near vicinity. I began to walk out of the clubhouse. Boss followed me.
"Hey Bijou, is there something wrong?" asked Boss suddenly nervously.
"Ach... No everything's fine." I said, almost ignoring him.
Oh my god. Where were Hamtaro and Pashmina. The potential of this mystery was putting stress all over my body, tying me to the ground. I mean... what if...? I began to quicken my pace. I began to powerwalk to Hamtaro's house. Boss kept following me.
"Are you sure?" Boss asked. Boss's level of nervousness suddenly increased, turning my attention to his words. "I mean, you look really worried right now. We could maybe uh..." Boss nearly choked on his words. "We could... uh... maybe talk things out."
"I yuh... am kind of busy right now," I explain in a rather harsh, annoyed tone.
"Bijou. Where were you yesterday."
"I needed to stay home."
Boss began to plead. "Bijou. I really want to help you. I am not stupid. I can tell that there is something on your mind. Relax, Bijou. RELAX!" he shouted finally.
I stopped running. "Okay, Boss, since when were you so certain of your words? Every time I talk to you, your talking is a mess. You stutter, you stumble on your words, you can barely say hello!"
Boss frowned. "Look Bijou, there is something special about today. I can tell. I am suddenly having this blast of courage. Let me embrace it. I don't think this will ever happen again. So for now, I really want to talk to you."
I sighed. "Okay Boss. Okay. Okay fine."
I sat down on the grass. Boss smiled faintly, and sat down close to me, facing me. He stared me in the eye defiantly.
"So. What is it you want to talk about?" I spat in a rather nasty way.
"I want to help you."
"You don't need to help me with anything."
"I know there is something wrong."
"There really isn't."
Boss sighed. "Bijou, are you sure there is nothing wrong? Nothing wrong? Not one little thing?"
I was silent.
Boss picked up again. "If there is, Bijou, I urge you to open up. Open up! Stop keeping all your troubles inside! Its plainly unhealthy! Trust me, I know."
More silence emitted from my body. My eyes began to water.
"PLEASE, Bijou. If you really think you are fine, you are perfectly happy, perfectly freaking happy, then tell me so, Bijou. Tell me so!"
I began to cry. Every single experience I had with him began to pile onto me this moment.
Boss sighed, and began to comfort me. "It's okay, Bijou. I just wanted you to know that the best way to forget your problems is to let them out. Let your friends share the burden."
I wept more. I sobbed. My tears fell on his feet.
"I've thought about it a lot. I realize that you know I like you. I know that you know. I must be making it really obvious. But, Bijou, I am not trying to win your heart right now. I don't care about what you have for me. Right now, I want to help you. As a friend."
"Okay. Okay Boss." I finally said. "But I don't want this to end anything, Boss. I don't want to offend you with my problems."
"You can tell me anything," Boss assured me.
And believe it or not, I began to tell him everything. Boss seemed to understand just like Stan. He treated me like a friend. He did not treat me like a queen. And this made my relations with Boss a lot closer. Boss did not get angry. He promised he would not treat Hamtaro as if he knew of my crazy love for him.

Feeling slightly better, I told Boss that I wanted some time alone. Boss left me, and went back into the clubhouse. I did not see Hamtaro anywhere around the entrance of the clubhouse, so I knew that they were still missing. I continued to Hamtaro's house.
As I walked, my feet just got heavier and heavier. I was sure of what I was going to see. I was going to see Hamtaro and Pashmina together. I soon approached his owner's house. I slowly climbed the tree outside of the room he presided in.
I looked inside. Hamtaro was by himself. I let go a breath of relief. I motioned to him to come outside.
"Hamtaro! Hamtaro!" I yelled.
"What is it, Bijou?"
"Why aren't you at the clubhouse today?"
"I'm scared, Bijou. I'm scared."
"Of what?"
"Pashmina."
"Why?"
"I am scared she won't like me back."
"Pashmina isn't even at the clubhouse today, Hamtaro. Come out, Hamtaro. We can talk about it together."
I don't know why I was making things so complicated. For some reason, I didn't want to tell Hamtaro that I loved him. He already loved Pashmina. I knew he wouldn't love me back. Why not, though? He could love two hamsters.
WHAT WAS I DOING? WHY WAS I NOT TELLING HAMTARO WHAT I WANTED? WHY WAS I STILL TALKING SMOOTH? WHAT WAS MY PROBLEM?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY PROBLEM IS, BUT I NEED TO GET RID OF IT!
Soon enough, I had taken Hamtaro all the way to the clubhouse, and talked of basically nothing.
I WAS GOING TO MAKE PROGRESS! WHY CAN'T I?!
I was running out of time. Soon enough, Hamtaro and Pashmina would be together.
Guess what. Pashmina turned out to be at the clubhouse. She was simply late. Hamtaro asked her out. Pashmina agreed to be his girlfriend. NO!
Things were definitely not working out for me. I still had hope. Hamtaro was going to be the only hamster I would ever love, and I was not going to give up this easily.
However, don't think I am angry you are not reviewing so much. I love the support, and I really want to thank you guys. Anyways, if no one else is, I at least am glad I have finished this chapter.
